This is a listener-supported station run by unpaid volunteers. To stay on the air, each year we need to raise $30,000 to cover the unavoidable operations expenses (rent, utilities, insurance, licensing, hosting). Your donations are tax deductible. (WHYR is a project of BRPN, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.) Thanks for your support!
